Aston Villa magician Jack Grealish almost pulled off arguably the greatest Premier League dribble and finishes of all time after the Villa playmaker ran rings around Burnley during their clash at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.
Grealish picked up the ball slight ahead of the left back position and just put his head down and ran. The Burnley players could do absolutely nothing and were helpless to stop the Villa captain.
The 25-year-old made it all the way into the opposition box before getting a good shot off which forced a good save from Burnley’s goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Luckily for Grealish he did find himself on the scoresheet later on in the game when he netted in the 67th minute giving the away side a 2-1 lead.
A deserved goal for Jack Grealish! 🔥
The Villa star has been immense all night, and he gets on the scoresheet!

Unluckily though Villa didn’t manage to hold onto the lead and went on to lose the game 3-2 after goals from Dwight McNeil and Chris Wood clinched a crucial victory for Sean Dyche’s men.
